Abstract—With the deep integration of information
technology and education, online learning has become more and
more widespread. Online learners are more extensive and have
individual differences in knowledge level, learning style and
learning ability. According to most education researchers,
learning style is one of the most important factors affecting
personality differences. Based on the learning style theory of
traditional classroom, this paper constructs an online learning
style model according to the characteristics of online learning.
This research about online learning style model can help
students evaluate and predict their learning outcomes. In
addition, it can help teachers implement teaching interventions
and provide data support for adaptive platforms.
Index Terms—Learning styles, online learning environments,
student modeling.
